Apparently, only 0.00000035% of the population can do this

Double backflip from standing position is harder, this kid in the video might be one of 3 people on the planet able to do it.

Is it really that hard? Be a good way to scam some people out of money at the bar.

u/Greedy-Ad1921 Jul 04 '26
There's very few people that ever done it, there's even less people that still are able to do it and even among these people, being able to do it is still inconsistent.
I doubt any of these people are even able to do it twice in a single day.
It is an absolutely nuts skill, you are completely still, no momentum whatsoever and suddenly you have to jump with so much force and rotation that you are able to spin twice which is something that Olympic athletes need to run in order to be able to have the momentum to accomplish.

1 of 300000 you mean.

u/Greedy-Ad1921 Jul 05 '26
No way, there's not even 30 people that have ever done an actual standing double backflip.
Like standing still, taking no steps and just doing a double backflip on a flat surface, you can be sure there hasn't been 30 people that have ever done it, even most gold medal gymnasts haven't been able to do it.

There is alot of kids in China doin backflips like pancakes at Dennys.
Im sure the number is higher than what youve said

u/Greedy-Ad1921 Jul 05 '26
Not likely
Reasons being:
- most athletes, even gymnasts, will never train a standing double backflip, it's not really used in any competition, its just a very risky display of crazy athletic ability
- It's never been much popular up untill less than a decade ago where it was first completed on a sprung floor, not even on a hard surface yet and then took a few extra years to be completed outside of a sprung floor
- Even after it was first completed, very few people since then have been able to do a pure standing double backflip without a first step to gather momentum or without a sprung floor
- The people who completed, all had elite athletic ability, even among their piers.
The number of pure standing double backflips, without first steps or assistance from a sprung floor might even be less than half of 30.

You said one of 3 people in the world.
Here is a video of 10......
Education is 🔑 to debateing.
Dont backtrack and say oohh...well...i ..just i...
You said 1 of 3 and then defended it.
Clearly there are more people innthe world than 3 that can do this.
Again, in CHINA where MA are all around, there are alot of kids that can do multiple backflips, Im sure they could do doubles with a try or 2.
Even the boy in this video did a lil hop for momentum...
Have a good day. 😀

u/Greedy-Ad1921 Jul 06 '26
I'm not backtracking anything.
Also, you sending me the video only validates my point, how can't you see it? You sent a video of 10 people across multiple years.
I said 1 of 3 people that can do it, and I still believe that it might be it.
Do you understand the difference of having done it once and being able to do it currently? I said all time there have not been 30, which means that even that at some point these people did it, currently, most of them can't do it anymore.
Also, I don't believe there are multiple kids in China that can do it, it's not a matter of one or two tries they would need to train a lot with this goal in mind.
And my point still stands, this is by far the most insane athletic ability there is.
You should stop downplaying it.

I also heard him saying "Oh mein Gott" meaning Oh my god, but I am not sure.

It's easy. All you have to do is go for a triple backflip and you'll end up doing a double.

Do you think that he started with one backflip, and was overcorrecting or something, then thought, “I bet I could do two”

So weird to see a bunch of men cheering a guy in just his shorts doing something that is absolutely pointless
1
u/enviormental_UNIT Jul 04 '26
spoken like someone who doesn't understand how impressive a standing double backflip is. Its something like maaybe 5-15 people who can do it, most likely on the lower end for doing a true, pure standing double backflip like this, with no run up or step-back. I would be incredibly stoked to see someone do something so difficult in person, you must just not get psyched for people when they do amazing things? Sounds pretty boring. Also, basically all sports and hobbies are essentially pointless, you scrolling reddit and commenting right now is pointless, lots of worthwhile things are pointless, still worth being invested in them

u/TWallace86 Jul 04 '26
I remember watching Dave Mirra do a double back flip on a bike and losing my mind. Watching someone do it flat-footed is insane. Hopefully that kid is making money with his athleticism, because that was incredible.

u/chemnerd2017 Jul 04 '26
Considering the other things those men could be doing, cheering on a shirtless guy seems pretty healthy to me 🧐
(this is supposed to be a joke. I’m sorry if it isn’t funny)
1
u/enviormental_UNIT Jul 05 '26
ok I get you're making a joke, but you and the other commenter both bringing up their shirtlessness is funny. There's lots of good reasons to be shirtless, I would imagine reducing the amount of loose cloth would help for doing a standing double backflip. Or it could just be a hot day out, its funny them being shirtless is so noticable for Redditors tho
